This month’s list of leavers includes a few heavy hitters, like the horrifyingAlien Isolation, and a duo of big JRPGs that are likely impossible to binge in just two weeks.

Loop therapy Returnalis here on PC and lo and behold, it’s notas scary as it looked. In a hardware demanding, recommended spec kind of way, at least – those lanky alien tree-man enemies are greying what little hair I have left. Like previous Playstation portMarvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, it’s not the most easygoing game either, but I’ve cycled through my share of deaths and rebirths and can report that Returnal will make do with older graphics cards and middling RAM counts....
